Kiedy w 2012 roku ukazała się pierwsza footworkowa EP'ka @SymbioticSounds niewiele osób w Polsce zdawało sobie sprawę z istnienia Łukasza Szydy oraz jego labelu Sequel One (współprowadzonego z Jakubem Dereżyńskim). "Everybody Loves An 808" było doskonałym balansem między charakterystycznym brzmieniem z Chicago, a europejską parkietową tradycją. EP'ka została bardzo dobrze przyjęta za granicą, supportowali ją najważniejsi producenci footworkowi: DJ Spinn, DJ Rashad, Addison Groove. Łukasz w szybkim czasie stał się najciekawszym i najbardziej oryginalnym przedstawicielem juke/footwork w Polsce.
Niespełna dwa lata po debiucie w tempie 160 bpm, Symbiotic Sounds przygotował nową EP'kę - "HIGHER". Z jednej strony, w nowym wydawnictwie, Łukasz pozostaje wierny obranej w "Everybody Loves An 808" drodze, z drugiej zaś dokonuje nowych wyborów. Dominującym wątkiem "HIGHER" jest wracający do łask, krytyki oraz słuchaczy, jungle. Jego przefiltrowana footworkiem, hybrydalna postać, staje się dla Łukasza punktem wyjścia. Klasyczne break'owe pętle przenikają się z typowym chicagowskim brzmieniem, przypominając atmosferyczną miksturę lat 90. przesiąkniętą futuryzmem.
Wszystkie utwory cechuje przemyślana dbałość o szczegóły, a efekt napięcia w każdym z nich budowany jest za sprawą idealnie dobranych środków, gdzie ważniejsza jest równowaga kompozycji, niż hałaśliwe przeładowanie. Symbiotic Sounds wciąż pozostaje wierny ciepłym analogowym barwom dalekim jednak od emocjonalnej naiwności.
Swoją pierwszą EP'ką "Everybody Loves An 808" Łukasz postawił sobie poprzeczkę bardzo wysoko. Właściwie jednym pytaniem było czy w przyszłości osiągnie podobny poziom. Już sam tytuł jego najnowszego wydawnictwa powinien wystarczyć nam wszystkim za odpowiedź czy mu się udało.

When in 2012 the first footwork EP by @SymbioticSounds was released, very few people in Poland were aware of Lukasz Szyda’s and his label Sequel One (run with Jakub Derezynski) existence. "Everybody Loves An 808" was a perfect combination of the characteristic Chicago sound and the European dance floor tradition. The EP was received very warmly abroad andsupported by the biggest footwork producers: DJ Spinn, DJ Rashad, Addison Groove. In no time did Lukasz become one of the most interesting and original representatives of juke/footwork in Poland.
Less than two years after his debut in 160 bpm, Symbiotic Sounds has prepared another EP – "HIGHER". On one hand, with his new release, Lukasz follows the path chosen with the "Everybody Loves An 808" EP; on the other hand he makes some new choices. Dominant thread of "HIGHER" is jungle, gradually returning to critics’ and listeners’ favours. Its footwork infused, hybrid form, is a starting point for Lukasz. Classic break loops mixed with the typical Chicago sound, remind of the atmospheric mixture of the 90’s soaked with futurism.
Every track sounds like it was made with a great attention to detail and the tension in them was created with perfectly picked methods. It creates an impression of a composition where balance is more important than a noisy overload. Symbiotic Sounds remains loyal to warm analogue sound while avoiding the emotional naivety.
With his first EP "Everybody Loves An 808" Lukasz has set the bar really high. The question is will he be able to reach this level again in the future? Solely the title of his new release should be enough for all of us to know the answer to that question.

While footwork culture originated in Chicago and is still primarily being championed by Chicago producers, DJs, and dancers, international artists like Marius Mevold AKA Slick Shoota have also been instrumental in bringing the sound to a worldwide audience by incorporating elements of other genres like jungle, drum & bass, and grime. His high-octane hybrid club productions are always recognizable by the frenetic pounding groove, rap and ragga vocal chops, and of course, his infamous “LET’S MOVE” tag. An official Teklife member since 2015, Slick Shoota has laid a foundation of strong underground relevancy, while also peeking into the more mainstream side of dance music here and there with a release on Diplo’s Mad Decent and a widely supported rave smasher bootleg of Hudson Mohawke’s “Cbat” that is still making the rounds on dancefloors and festival stages all over the world despite being released almost 7 years ago. For many electronic music fans getting more interested in uptempo dance music, Slick Shoota bridges the gap into the wonderful world of 160 bpm and beyond.

We’ve been huge fans of Marius’ work for the better part of a decade now, so it goes without saying that we’re hugely honored to have him on the Booms and Claps mix series. For “BnC Mix 042: Slick Shoota,” he delivers a 38 minute offering of club-ready originals, VIPs, edits, and remixes, many of which are featured on his most recent album release “VIP VAULTS.” The 20-track collection of largely never-before-heard tracks Slick produced between 2013 and 2018. Be sure to cop the release and peep the mix above!

BnC Mix 042: Slick Shoota

There are two ways of creating music: conventional or weird. 
No doubt LLHC always chooses the second one. He assembles [or disassembles] breaks, drum machines beats, pads, acid sounds and basslines like nobody else, moving away from all the aesthetic standards we are used to and creating a sound that is really appreciated in the urchin community. 
Can you imagine remixing those two LLHC tunes? Well… Anna Morgan and Johney did it and the remixes are awesome!

02. LLHC - Cold In Summer

Aufect's Sigrah and Tar affiliate Norfik give us dance floor therapy with their "Alley of Mirrors" single off Sigrah's forthcoming LP 'This is Letting Go.' The journey starts with brooding bass that leads the way to Classic jungle breaks soaring over uplifting euphoric chords as a vocal sample speaks to us about self-reflection. This is Letting Go is the debut full-length album from North American artist, Sigrah. Primarily known for his depth and range in sound palettes and musical styles, Sigrah often creates remarkably unique moods and feelings within his music. 1 part shoe-gaze, 1 part jungle, 1 part
dissonance, and 3 parts energy is the recipe. This record is certainly all of those, and you can truly feel that Sigrah has poured his all into this body of work.
Prior to this LP, Sigrah has mostly soldiered in the trenches of the bass music ethos ala halftime Drum & Bass, Jungle, and dubstep, and has seen support along the way from genre figureheads such as Om Unit & Fracture, selectors like The Librarian, and even arena-fillingartists such as Bassnectar. This variety of support highlights the breadth and reiterates thefluidity within the Sigrah project in its entirety.
